N. Y. “GIRL SHOW”
=B s 3
New York City, September 23.—The
“Hello Girls Revnue,” a novelty musi
cal and dancing show now playing to
packed houses at a prominent Broad
way theater, 18 to close its run here
on October 2 to go to Atlanta for a
week's engagement at the Southeast
ern Falr, Octover 2 to 9, it was an
nounced by the management of the
theater today.
The show was selected by a local
booking agent in compliance with the
following telegram from Oscar Mills,
vice president and general manager
of the Southeastern Fair in Atlanta,
& telegram which camsed much dis
cussion along theater row:
“We folks In Georgia want to see
what it takes to entertain you New
Yorkers. Sena me the most typical
girl show in New York to play two
performances a day in front of our
grandstand as one of the free acts
it our falr. We have $50,000 to spend |
'or amusements so get us a good one.” !
Greek Sphinx Unlike
Ideas of Egyptians
The Greek sphinx was not & monu
ment, like the surviving sphimxes of
Egypt. She was a creature of Greek
mythology, having the body of a lion,
the wings of a bird, the tail of a ser
pent and the head of a woman. Bhe
presented the Thebans with a riddle,
according to the legend, and slew all
those who were unable to guess it.
Edipus solved it at length, and in cha
grin she cast herself over a cliff and
died.
Somewhat similar composite figures
are familiar in Egyptian art—bodies
of lions with heads of other animals
or of men. The Greeks called these
representations sphinxes, and we have
adopted their term. To the Egyp
tians, however, the figures were artis
tic conceptions of an imaginary ani
mal believed to be a favorite incarna
tion of Re, the sun god. The pharaohs
were held to be the descendants of
Re, and his representatives on earth.
For that reason the face of a sphinx
was modeled after that of the reigning
monarch, or sometimes from that es
the queen.
Of the numerous Egyptian gphinxes
the most celebrated and remarkable,
of course, is the Great Sphinx of Gi
zeh, lying among the pyramids as a
guardian of the necropolis. From in
scriptions found on this famous men
ument when the dust of ages was
cleared away from the front of it in
1816, the figure is taken to represent
Harmachis, a special form of the sun
god,
Species Not Popular
on Railroad Trains
Fond fathers why carry pictures of
their offspring sitting in their bath
tubs. P
People who borrow your magasine
to hold over Toto's basket every time
the conductor comes along.
Charming young men who insist on
talking to you.
Nice old ladies who asked you,
three minutes after the train has
started and then every 20 minutes
thereafter, whether you are positive
this is the right train, why you are
positive, whether you haven't ever
made a mistake in a similar situation,
and what you think Joe will think if
they should arrive as expected.
Children who get. all smeared up
with chocolate and then identify you
as dad-da.
Three-hundred-pound male bipeds
with handkerchiefs in their collar
bands who go for water between ev
ery station, always arriving at your
chalr just as the train lurches round
the sharpest bend in the vicinity.
Young married couples who rest
their heads on each other’s shoulders
when the nearest shoulder you dare
rest your head on is 280 miles away.

In the second primary race next Wednesday, October 6th, Geor
gians will nominate Dr. L. G. Hardman for governor, because he
stands for a clean-cut business administration. He is not a man
that jumps first on one, then on the other side of an issue. He
stands four-square on matters that are of vital interest to the tax
payers of Georgia. / '
He does not favor an increase in taxes and believes that with a
business administration taxpayers will be saved hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually. He favors reorganization of every
department of the state on a safe, sound, conservative basis.
Duplication of ‘departments should be eliminated; unnecessary
help dispensed with and the affairs of Georgia conducted on a
high business plane the same as a private enterprise,
The Brown-Holder machine was partly smashed September Bth
and it will be completely put out of business on Octeber 6th.
Holder will be defeated the same as Brown was defeated. Voters
are rallying to the Hardman standard for “he is the best man in
the race” and will make Georgia the best governor in a decade.
A vote for Hardman is a vote for progress in Georgia. So let
. us move forward by electing Hardman. AR
